(CNN) -- A Florida pastor who called off a Quran burning said late Thursday he was "rethinking our position" after a Muslim leader said the minister incorrectly announced that the proposed Islamic center near New York's ground zero would be moved as part of a deal.
The dramatic development was one of several twists on a day when President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates urged the Rev. Terry Jones to call off the Saturday event, timed for the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
During the afternoon, Jones canceled his plan to burn copies of the Quran, based on what he said were assurances from a local Muslim leader that the Islamic center in New York would be moved -- an assertion rejected by the center's visionary in New York.
Jones, leader of the Gainesville, Florida-based Dove World Outreach Center, announced he will travel Saturday to New York to meet with the religious leader behind the planned center, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, about a new location.
Sounds like he was using the Quran burning as a scheme to get the Islamic Center to pick up and move and it didn't work.
Or...
He's just a big media attention whore
Why stop there?For real it took people this long to figure it out? I may just call CNN tomorrow and say I am burning a Bible and Quran together in the same trash can. The country may just explode from outrage.
Why stop there?
I wonder how many religions have books/whatever you can burn...
The whole WORLD may just explode from outrage... :mrgreen:

If only the terrorists waffled this way maybe thousands and thousands of people would still be alive today.
Aunt. I'm sorry but...
What does that have to do with the Topic?
You know - when someone waffles it means they never make up their mind.
When someone never makes up their mind on a course of action they make no action.
Thus - they never do anything.
If the terrorists never did anything (aka - if they waffled this way) then they wouldn't be terrorizing anyone now would they?
Wishful thinking.

Seems to me he felt hoodwinked and went back to Plan A.
And I suppose given the Islamic propensity to launch into a deranged and screeching psycho-rage over anything which doesn't go their way, I'd say a Koran-burning exercise would do them a lot of good when it comes to character building.

I really don't understand how some moron who wants to burn Korans is newsworthy. If the news would have ignored him entirely then the middle east wouldn't even catch wind of this and there would be no problems. Now if he does carry this out he will likely be murdered within the next month, which might not be such a bad thing.
You're defending this hate inciting moron?
No, we understood your post. You're acting like we didn't get your meaning. We get your meaning.
But what does it have to do with this "church?"
just as long as they don't burn the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster.
Indeed,
Everyone knows the gospel of the FSM should instead be boiled for 9 to 11 minutes, perhaps with some salt and olive oil, until al dente and then covered in ones sauce of choice. Breadsticks optional.
